MIT goes universal!

I have a great news to share with all of you. MIT or Massachusetts Institute of Technology has launched an Open Course Ware -a free and open educational resource for educators, students, and self-learners around the world. OCW supports MIT's mission to advance knowledge and education, and serve the world in the 21st century. It is true to MIT's values of excellence, innovation, and leadership.MIT OCW:Is a publication of MIT course materialsDoes not require any registrationIs not a degree-granting or certificate-granting activityDoes not provide access to MIT facultyLearn more about MIT OCW...

An user's words-"We live in a very rural area. Access to quality educational materials is a 225-mile drive to the nearest library of any significance. The dearth of teaching materials is more profound... Thank you so much for OCW." -- Self-learner from Kentucky

Now you can join any course thought at MIT and learn... what a revolutionary idea. True meaning of a university is just being truly realized. I hope other leading universities would soon follow the lead...Dear poets learn about the major poets in the literature course offered by MITLets learn together, lets grow together!Best wishes!

Hi Glenn,I had always thought about such things...universal access to education...in my life time i am going to see how each and every child on the planet gets the best possible education...with best wishes!abhay
